“Here’s the truth. For far too long we have lived with the discomfort of being a second-class citizen and, frankly, I’m tired of it, and every single Muslim in this country should be tired of it. CAIR was founded [she misspoke, CAIR was founded in 1994, but doubled in size] after 9/11 because they recognized that some people did something and that all of us were starting to lose access to our civil liberties. So you can’t just say that today someone is looking at me strange and that I am trying to make myself look pleasant. You have to say that this person is looking at me strange, I am not comfortable with it, and I am going to talk to them and ask them why. Because that is the right you have.”

“I can hear you! I can hear you! The rest of the world hears you! And the people — and the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon!” President G. W. Bush, Sept. 14, 2001

Muslims were never and are not 2nd class citizens, there's a reason Muslims come here fleeing Islam.

If Americas such an oppressive country why is she not fleeing to the middle East?If Americas such an oppressive country why are everyone from Mexicans to middle eastern Muslims to Africans to Russians all trying to come here? Could it be that America is a very free non oppressive country?

Well, despite people like you, the country could still be better than the alternatives, but you probably also believe it's the most socially mobile country in the world, when there are countries 3x as good.

In the UK or Germany or France Muslims are treated far worse, they are hearded into giant poverty stricken crime ridden ghettos that breeds extremism and sharia law whereas in contrast here in America Muslims are among the most successful wealthiest and best educated here.Muslims are bombing Muslims in the middle East, women have little to no rights and lgbtq Muslims are murdered.

Jimmy Saville was one man. Big difference between being raped by one man and repeatly by multiple men who burn you with cigarettes and pour petrol over you threatening to set you on fire and kill your family if you don't stay silent.

And one criminal gang of a couple of dozen who exploited the country's liberalism doesn't make a "giant poverty stricken crime ridden ghetto[] that breeds extremism and sharia law", especially when you consider what their punishment would have been under sharia law.

I have a feeling you probably agree more with the Sharia punishment than the British one.

It isn't one gang but many. Yes it is one big crime ridden impoverished ghetto, the Muslims there will tell you. Compare how Muslims in America live to how Muslims in Britain live, big difference

I bet you can't find a single example of someone who lives there saying that.

There are 15 Muslim Members of Parliament, and the Mayor of London is also Muslim. That sounds successful to me. Not to mention, there have been Muslim members of the House of Lords since 1869.

Yes they have Muslims packed in together in giant ghettos therefore more political representives. London for instance has a huge Muslim ghetto. White English people are a minority in the city having been pushed out and people voted for the party. Crime is also through the roof in London.According to a census, Muslims in England face poor standards of housing, poorer levels of education and are more vulnerable to long-term illness, and that Muslims in the UK had the highest rate of unemployment, the poorest health, the most disability and fewest educational qualifications among religious groups.

"London for instance has a huge Muslim ghetto"Here we go again. Where in London?

Nothing of what you're saying is true.

Londonistan lolIn Shoreditch, Bethnal Green, and outside the East London Mosque where videos were made of members of the patrol harassing members of the public at night when the mosque was closed. The patrol targeted a heterosexual couple in Bethnal Green for holding hands, shouting at them to stop because they were in "a Muslim area." Just weeks later, the patrol picked on five friends who were drinking in the street because it was "Allah's land"; 19-year-old Islamic convert Jordan Horner threatened to stab the men, while one of the patrol members shouted "kill the non-believers.

That's all one borough, Tower Hamlets, and you're talking about a roundly condemned small group of young men five years ago. The East End used to have the Kray Twins, who carried around sawn-off shotguns. I'd rather go there now than back then.

Yes, most "radical terrorists in Britain are home grown British citizens of the Muslim faith", but there really aren't very many of them, compared with, say, the IRA in the 1980s. Also, they are from a very small sect of Islam, Wahhabism; most Muslims look at them like most Christians look at the Westboro Baptist Church.

By the way, if you're offended by how what someone said 18 years afterward belittled 9/11, what do you think of this, said in the afternoon of 9/11/2001:

"“40 Wall Street actually was the second-tallest building in downtown Manhattan, and it was actually, before the World Trade Center, was the tallest,” the then-businessman said in a telephone interview on the afternoon of Sept. 11 with local New Jersey television station WWOR."

Well it wasn't just the IRA but also the British security forces committing terrorism on its on British citizens as well as British state sponsored terrorists live the UVF. What percentage of moderate Muslims in Britain agree with ISIS, how many think homosexuality should be ilegal, how many think martial rape isn't rape and how many think that a young girls unescorted by a male relative deserve rape or even gang rape? What other community in Europe frequently gang raped women often with relatives?

Care to provide more context?First of all what is or isn't cocnsidered "inappropriate" differs from person to person.Secondly, whatever she might have said, there are limits to what is or isn't a appropriate/acceptable response.But we can't judge what is or isn't a appropriate and/or acceptable response just from the above statement.

That said, regardless of what might be the case for this particular situation there *is* a pattern in Mr Trumps behavior that is... worrying...

She was talking about civil rights, and how all Muslims get blamed to the actions of a few. Specifically, she said (about 9/11): “some people did something” while arguing that all Muslims should not be punished for the actions of a crazy few.

Then, The Daily Caller posted a short video on youtube, an Australian framed it as Omar was down playing 9/11 (she wasn't, she was downplaying the number of Muslims involved), then it was off to the races: Sean Hannity, Fox & Friends, their targetted audience (Trump), and by Thursday, the front page of the New York Post.

It’s not. It’s politics. She made an absurd statement, she’s going to keep doing that shit as she’s already proven so her fellow democrats have to figure out how to manage the fallout. They’ve chosen to try to attack trump. I personally think it was a mistake for the Dems to do itvthat way. I think they could’ve used this to isolate the far left wing in their party but we’ll see.

Regardless what people want you to believe there is now moral or ethical bar to hit in politics. It’s really about how do you win and at least half of the story is how you take down your enemy.

don't you know you're not allowed to disagree with females or certain protected religions or you are a racist, sexist, bigoted homophobe. I learned that back when Obama was first running for office. People literally were screaming that if you didn't vote for him, then you're a racist. They don't care the reasons you vote for someone else. Just like they don't care about the actual reasons you speak out against someone's words or actions now. If they're "protected" by the left, then the left will go rabid if you speak out against them.

Well first off if you still believe the official story on 911 then I am sorry to hear that lol and for the record I hate Omar she is racist against whites and Jews but the truth is 911 was not done by Muslims that is just a lie. The US and Israel were behind 911 it was a false flag attack and TV and movies have been programming us to believe the official story for years before it happened. 911 symbolism has been on album covers, movies and TV since 1978. They put the images of the towers in our heads it got in our subconcious so we would not question the official story. Look at the Simpsons everyone remembers seeing 911 with the towers on that also Die Hard poster was the towers burning and many other movies. Microsoft flight simulator had a plane flying near the towers the evidence cannot be debunked so yea Omar is an asshole but she was right about 911.

It's not, but that is the default statement that leftists are instructed to make whenever they feel compelled to make excuses for something indefensible.

IT's not but Democrats are digging themselves a deeper hole as they continue to stand behind people making absurd statements as long as they oppose Trump.
